INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION - by Albert V.Dicey
Posted date: 21/08/2020
Review
An outstanding scholarly edition of Dicey's classic work 'The Law of the Constitution'... In addition, it makes available Dicey's lectures on comparative constitutionalism, which will prove invaluable in assessing the orthodox view of Dicey as simply a narrow legal formalist... Allison's two introductions, scholarly apparatus, and editing are uniformly excellent. (Patrick N. Malcolmson, St. Thomas University)
The great classic..., accompanied by contributions less known, but no less signicant... in the field of comparative constitutional law. (Marta Cartabia, Vice President, Constitutional Court of Italy)
The interest of this Oxford Edition of the constitutional work of Dicey is... indisputable. Notably thanks to the important editorial work of John Allison, this edition is not a simple excavation of unpublished texts that will interest only interpreters of the "Oracle" of Oxford. It provides, first of all, an interesting illumination of constitutional doctrine in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, a period which also constitutes a "golden age" for the doctrine of British publicists. (Thibault Guilluy, lnstitut Michel Villey) --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Synopsis
A year after the publication of Dicey's "Law of the Constitution", William Gladstone was reading it aloud in the House of Commons, citing it as authority. It remains, to this day, a starting point for the study of the English Constitution and comparative constitutional law. "The Law of the Constitution" elucidates the guiding principles of the modern constitution of England: the legislative sovereignty of Parliament, the rule of law, and the binding force of unwritten conventions. Dicey's goal was "to provide students with a manual which may impress these leading principles on their minds, and thus may enable them to study with benefit in Blackstone's Commentaries and other treatises of the like nature those legal topics which, taken together, make up the constitutional law of England. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.
